For those of us who still runs WAMP, and upgraded to windows 10, might have realized that once you upgraded to Windows 10, WAMP started working.

If you wish to still use WAMP on Windows 10, following the following steps will sort this issue out.

Click the windows/start button

Type cmd

Right-click on “Command Prompt” that shows in the list and click “Run as Administrator”

Now in command prompt, type the followingiisreset /stop

This command will stop IIS (the Windows web server) from running. If you restart WAMP your localhost should work again.

Note that this does not solve the problem in entirety, it only solves it for people who want to use both WAMP and IIS. But if you are like me and couldn’t care less for IIS, then you might as well disable it completely. To do this:

Click the windows/start button, type in services.msc

Scroll down in the Services and locate the World Wide Web Publishing Service.

As part of our quotation process for larger web based systems and sites we, like most decent developers, make use of Wireframes and Specification Documents (Spec Docs) after delivering our initial ball-park quote, to plan the entire system before delivering an in-depth quotation. After all, the five P’s taught us that “Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance” and we tend to believe that. However, clients do not always understand WHY they need wireframes and a spec doc, and especially WHY they need to pay for these items. Hopefully this post will help clarify those WHY’s and turn them into AYE’s.Read More…
